Parker Washington News
Saturday, August 1, 5:03 PM
Speaking to 1010XL, Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington said he's going to play in 3-WR sets, 12 personnel, and 13 personnel in the 2026 season. When asked whether he is worried 2-TE sets will take away from the wide receivers' workload, he stated, "For me, 12 personnel is good, even 13 [personnel]." He also said, "Liam [Coen] told me to be ready to play all positions and to stay ready." Washington has been heavily praised during the first week of training camp, with head coach Liam Coen saying, "Like we can't coach them always to be special when the ball's in their hands. And that's something Parker has." In the last four games last season, Washington hauled in 26 of 41 targets for 454 yards and three touchdowns, including a monster performance in the Wild Card Round against the Buffalo Bills. Ranked WR32 in RotoBaller's rankings, Washington is a breakout candidate to watch in 2026.

Jalen Coker News
Friday, July 31, 5:37 PM
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jalen Coker has set his sights on becoming a 1,000-yard receiver in 2026. Coker told the media Friday, "That was my goal as a rookie. That was my goal last year. It will be my goal this year." Despite a quad injury that cost him the first six games of the 2025 season, Coker finished strong, totaling 28 receptions for 377 yards and four touchdowns in his final six games, including his monster playoff game. If he holds that pace for a full 17-game season, Coker will reach 1,000 yards. While second-year receiver Tetairoa McMillan will operate as the WR1 in Carolina, Coker showed at the end of 2025 that he can produce even without being the alpha WR1. The third-year receiver is a dark horse to contribute in fantasy formats this season and should be rostered in all formats.
